Food and Nutrition.

All know that the body consists of
The food eaten, digested and assimilated;
that growing body needs proportion
ately more food than one which has
reached its growth; and that body
habitually active needs much more than
one habitually at rest. 1t is not so gen.
orally known that every particle of the
body is in constant state of waste
lives but for moment and is succeeded
by new living particle, and so from
birth to death; that every movement OF
a limb, each action Of al organ, every
contraction of a MUSCLE every thought,
yolition, desire, passion, every emotion
of Joy, grief, fear or anxiety uses up
nervous force itself the product of the
food formed flesh. Yhe failure of the
food supply to equal the body's demand
is starvation.
But many seem to be ignorant OF the
fact that one may starve more or less
on an abundance of food, provided the
body does not contain all the elements
Of the body. Some forms of dyspepsia
are of this kind. 1t is rs when land is
unfruitful from lack of single element,
say phosphate of lime, though tho
soil is otherwise rich Some persons,
women especially, keep habitually
feeble-partially starved-by living
mainly on white bread and tea. Natural
milk contains, in divinely determined
proportion, all the elements that make
up an infant body; but thousands of
infants yearly starve to death, many OF
them in homes of afiluence, because fed
on artificial foods, the best of which fall
far short of natures marvellous sup
ply. .
Scurvy results simply from lack OF
vegetable food, and light cases of it is
more common than is thought. Tho
patient is pale and sallow is disinclined
to exertion has aches and pains in his
back; his gums are spongy, swollen,
and bleed almost at the touch. Multi
tudes of such cases are relieved at once
on taking proper quantity OF vegeta-
bles with their food.
In ricketts, there is not lime enough
for the bones, not one-half Us much
as their should be. Hence the bones
are soft, and bend; the head is big; the
teeth are black and loose; the breast
bone protrudes; the ribs fall in, and the
abdomen is enlarged by the crowding OF
the liver, etc.
1t is mainly disease of the poor, and
begins within the first two years of life.
1t is due in part to the poor quality OF
the mothers milk, she being imperfect
ly fed, and in part of the child's being
fed with food it cannot digest. Youth

leaves From q Western House
Keepers journal.

Rural New Yorker.
"There is not anything in the house
but salt pork" i heard the cook say to
Aunt Dorcas. ooh, that is ull right"
and she gave a Jolly little laugh, and
said, "I've lived too long away from
markets and fresh meat not to know
how to make n meal, or dozen, out OF
salt pork. Once on time l cut it in
thick chunks. and fried it in its own
grease over hot fire after parboiling;
but now / cut il as thin as possible,
take off the rind, and steep it first in
clean, soft water, about milk warm. 1t
requires rather slow cooking, and, when
done, can be set in the oven to keep
warm" And all this time Aunt Dorcas
was working while she talked, and then
prepared gravy of milk and flour and
some of the grease from the meat, in q
clean frying pan. She toasted some
stale bread, and dipped it in the gravy,
using it as garnish for the meat, fry
ing few eggs to lay between.
an this way little pork goes
q long way" said she. "Child-
rem prefer the toast, egg and gravy
TO tho meat" Then she cut up some
apples and fried them as we do Sarato-
ga potatoes, removing the cores, but
not peeling the apples. 1t made alto
gether n palatable dinner, and, as she
predicted, the children liked the toast
and gravy with their baked potatoes
better than the meat
One day she cooked what she called
"furmity" in the place Of barley or rice.
1t was made by stepping wheat for "a
hours, then boiling it gently in soft wat
err for six hours. IL is then set away
for future use, aud when wanted is COW
cred with milk upon the stove and al
lowed TO simmer. Half an hour before
il IL wanted, stir in a couple Of we'll
beaten eggs, little allspice and sugar
TO taste. ats nice dish," said a1nt;
"and where we grow so much wheat 1t
is handy TO keep it boiled and ready
for.use. One can't always be running
TO the store for rice, and the children
alwans liked furmity the best"
"Did you ever steam eggs?" she
asked one morning before breakfast,
and she took up pie plate, buttered
il, and broke some eggs on it, then
seasoned them with salt and pepper and
a little butter. Then she set the plate
in a steamer, aud cooked till set. They
we're done 10 a turn, and would be a
good dish for delicate appetite. Eggs
and chickens are plentiful ont Wet

them with as much variety rs possible. '

A young canary bird belonging to
our family is in the habit of receiving
small pieces of biscuits, cake or such
like from the tea table. The hardness
of the biscuit has always been a source
of great annoyance to Dickey. One
day, however, after an expcctant and
close examination of the tea table, he
was offered a piece Of hard biscuit.
Without making the least attempt to
break il lie lifted it from the floor OF
his cage AMI taking 1t to his water
trough gently dropped IT in. following
up the action by patiently stirring it
round and round with his beak until 10

it without any trouble. He now puts

SHOWS OF rAe POLAR REGIONS.
None Falls Except in Autumn aud Spring
 .." --Ths Depth Not Great.

F'redrick Schwartz In Chicsso Timasl
 Through th's part of the Arctic and sub Arctic regions, reaching from north Hudson bay to the neares, channels of the Arctic ocean and beyond snow does not fall very heavily during the winter time proper; and it is claimed by the ksuuimsux that except the spring and autumn snows for which theS have special names no snow falls at all during any other time Of the year That is. these distn fall and spring snows are separated by the summer on one side
 with the snow of the ground and ice oil the lakes, and by the winter n the other. with the ground constantly covered with snow. but of a uniiormly average depth.
 During the winter timo every gale and storm blows the loose drifting snow around. and polar traveler out of doors on such dal might we'll think that 6 most furious snIwstorn was raging around him; but. say the Els s4uimaux. 1t is only the drifting snow that fell the autumn before. aud for which they hare distinct name (nioshoh separate from that of snow itself ap poo or SD poot

An epthusiastic Lover of Pottery.

Professor Morse, whose charming lect ures on Japan have SO edified the upper ten of the city. is an enthusiastic lover of china. He thinks that a man with money that is, with enough to live like lord and still have something oyer--can in nc way spend the surplus so satisfactorily as in pottery.
 There is more solid comfort In beauti ful vase, or an exquisite jar, than in any thing else in life," he rapturously ex- claimed the other day.
 Then he proceeded to tell about the Jap snese love of ceramics, and he remarked that any people that had advanced that far was very near the limit of what we know as intelligent civilization, and with this in his mind he observed that in Toklo, a city of more than 1000 900 inhabitants, there were only four murders last year.--Cincin nati Times Star. sr.

England is divided Into i2,Oo0 parishes, sn every one ot which there is s resident clergyman who receives one-tenth of the income of the land. The ancient tithe in kind Is commuted, but the clergy still ob- tain their tenth in residence, glebe and commuted tithe. This Is in addition to the revenues of the bishops and 10 the expendi ture fJr the care of the church edihces. The 12000 clergymen constitute one-fourth of the resident landowners of the kingdom Their incomes average more than sl 300 year. They are landowners as ab- solutely as the peers; for they are also ten ants for life, and can not be dispoSseSsed short of a revolution-unless In case ot crime or gross immortality. They can not, 1t is true, dispose of their estates by will; but neither can one In tenot the larger landholders. From the archbishop Of Canterbury, with his s75,0o0 year, down to the humblest incumbent of parish, they are emphatically part of the landed interest. Naturally the church is con servative.
 Th" power of appointing the clergy is It. self piece of property. It is commonly attached to the land. The incumbent of Q living is usually appointed by the squire some nelSnoOrlhk Houeulah' III "hoSe family the privilege descends like any other inheritance The greatest miscreant in life or infidel in belief may appoint the clergyman, if he owns the land. If child niherits, the guardian sometimes exercises the right; and, worse yet. the right may be sold. The succession to a wealthy piece of perferment is often disposed of years in advance. You may read in The Times, in this year of our Lord, advertisements Of advowsons, as the right of patronage Is called; the "cure of souls' for sale. Often the notice mentions that the incumbent is old, and the property is so much the more valuable, for the succession will be speedier Then the advowson fetches e higher price. Adam Badeau's Letter.

A Troupe of Japanss Dancing Girls.

The dancing part of the troupe was more attractive. These girls were probably about l6 to IS years of age; certainly no older. We should scarcely call their per formance dancing for they neither hopped, Topped, HOT piroaetted as in a ballet, nor whirled or skipped as at one of our dancing parties. IL was rather 8 mod est, stately, quiet series of posturings, with fans, umbrellas, and similar accessor- les Illustrating some sentiment or poetry in pantomime. It was all very graceful and pleasing, but to call their pretty per formance "the very poetry of motion" as some enthusiastic travellers have done, seems to me a little exaggerated.
 But imagine a Japanese-after being ac customed to such graceful, disnified dane ing-at one of our fashionable parties How ridiculous 1t must appear to him to see everybody whirling wildly about, like s lot of lunatics, till they are heated and disheveled! How much more sensible to do as he does; sit cool and quiet, while paying somebody else to do such hard work for him.-Cor. Inter Ocean.
